Actress Iqra Aziz, who has been garnering praise for her latest drama ‘Mannat Murad’, has finally addressed Saboor Aly’s wedding dress controversy.
Lately, she fell prey to controversy after the wedding scene from the Mannat Murad went viral. Well, she wore the same Faiza Saqlain outfit that Saboor Aly wore on her wedding day. Aly called Iqra out for wearing her wedding dress. Recently, Iqra Aziz appeared in The Pick And Drop Show, hosted by Yasir Hussain.
In the show, she revealed the reason behind wearing the same dress. Talking about it, she said, “Actually we wanted a traditional dress because it was our director’s demand. We didn’t find any traditional dress even after thorough searching.”
She continued, “My director shared this picture with me, and after searching, I found out that it was by Faiza Saqlain. We approached Faiza Saqlain. I requested her to change the shirt because I didn’t want it exactly the same. I kept the duppata and Gharara the same because we could not change it completely.”
She added, “We also kept the jewellery simple and traditional. I designed the whole look. I won’t say that I copied her but I was truly inspired by her look because she was looking so so beautiful and I wanted to look as gorgeous as her. I personally felt that Mannat should look like her. I thought that I should not inform anybody to take inspiration, also, it was technically not her dress, I took it from the designer. I didn’t know it would become a big issue, otherwise, I would have asked her because I am a people pleaser.”
Talking about meeting with Saboor Aly in the future, she said that she does not think this should be an issue at all. “We should not even talk about it, we should skip it and move on and I feel bad about it if she felt sad but I am not apologetic,” she said.
